Every local issue we are trying to resolve is affected by a larger fabric of issues that must be understood, including embracing positive ways to manage expected growth. It is therefore crucial that we work together to implement an effective, scalable, and relevant TRANSPORTATION system, and make expanding WATER & SEWER CAPACITY a priority, all while welcoming new talent and new ideas. Similarly, we will promote the understanding that CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT remains a consistent community asset whose economic benefits are enormous.
CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
The Positive Outcome We Want to Achieve:
The presence of our international airport (CLT), along with the power of American Airlines, a new REBIC member, stands as one of the top reasons our region has grown so quickly and so positively. It has made our city a regional powerhouse for banking, and other pivotal business activity. In short, preserving, supporting, and ensuring AA’s presence in Charlotte keeps us connected to positive global commerce, is THE positive outcome we are reaching for.
What We’re Doing Now:
With the addition of American Airlines, we are now embracing a broader range of voices for Charlotte’s future economic health. We will continue to elevate the facts surrounding this pivotal Charlotte asset.
